Peppa Pig removed from Labour event

Peppa Pig, the popular children’s TV character has been removed from a Labour event, with its creators saying they want to avoid any controversy with her appearance.

A life-sized Peppa was due to appear at a party election event at a Sure Start children’s centre in south London, but her creators, E1 Entertainment, have said she has been removed from appearing with Yvette Cooper and Tess Jowell from the Labour party.

In the past, Peppa has been used to promote the government-funded Sure Start schemes, but this time around she has been removed ‘in the interests of avoiding any controversy or misunderstanding’. It comes as the Labour party launches their mini manifesto for families.
